Question: 1 / 400

How is the Therapeutic index calculated?

ED50/LD50

LD50/ED50

The Therapeutic index is a measure of the safety of a drug. It is calculated by dividing the lethal dose (LD50) by the effective dose (ED50). This ratio helps determine the range of doses in which a drug is safe and effective for use. Option A and C are incorrect because they reverse the order of the ratio, which would result in a meaningless calculation. Option D also reverses the order and includes LD95 and ED95, which are not commonly used measurements in drug research.
